- This headband starts by joining the yarn to the hair elastic, then making the length of the headband in turned rows, and connecting to the other side of the hair elastic. The yarn is rejoined to the edges to crochet the border.
- Sizes: Pattern is written in 3 sizes, Child, Small Adult, & Large Adult consecutively. Example, when the pattern gives the end of the row count as (42, 48, 54), the 42 is the child, the 48 is the sm adult, and the 54 is the lg adult.
- When looking at sizing, keep in mind that there is stretch to the headband due to the hair elastic.
